These pictures are from the little two day trip to NYC. They are random. The above picture is me and Mike. Note Mike has a killer tan-line from our 4 hour drive with the top down. This is Heidi’s street in Harlem. It was the perfect place to crash. Heidi is a producer with aContinue reading “Pictures from NYC trip”

This weekend, Mike and I went up to NYC for a last minute trip. My friends from Pigeon Creek Shakespeare were putting on a show at the Kraine Theatre and I wanted to support them.

(Notice it goes from healthy to unhealthy throughout theContinue reading “Perfect Temptation”
